So he's succeeding in the most competitive league in the world but he couldn't cut it at Barcelona surrounded by outstanding players?
An integral part of Barcelona's game is to win the ball back quick, no one is better than Henderson at that.
He'd thrive in that team because apart from his massive work rate he's a very good one and two touch footballer.
 
I thought he was nowt special for us and couldn't understand why Liverpool wanted him :oops::oops:


He was struggling in the centre of midfield but Brucey kept him in there, we got good money for him, he left and is reaping the rewards of playing with much better players.
He never hit the ground running, it took a bit of time.

Did they try and sell him on to Palace after his 1st season, or have I made that up?

The papers at the time said that the new american owner also owned club(s) in the US and had a policy of buying young talent for long term investment.

Barca, need to and can afford to buy a big name player every season and have probably been atracted by the hype around Henderson.

We saw how good he was with Suarez last year, its a non-argument like, he is a hell of a player.

If the Barca scouts were watching Suarez last season, which they would have been cos they signed him, it's only logical that they would have flagged Henderson as well cos he's been impressive for them.

Chances are they would have been keeping tabs on him this season and, if anything, he's been even better for them. So he's probably one of number of players they're interested in.

TBF I'd be well chuffed for the lad if he ended up there. He should be the poster boy for our academy as the inspiration for what a player with a canny amount of ability and an even better attitude can do for himself.
 
Not as ludicrous as it might have sounded 18 months ago. It would be a very brave move from Henderson as he's starting to look like a really good player and crucial part of Liverpool's future.

He'd probably improve further as a player mind and I'm all for premier league players gaining experience in other leagues.
 
Not as good as them, but he is a hell of a player

I remember saying on here he will be a lot better than Wilshere, and people laughed their head off, he has proved them totally wrong
He's not a lot better than wilshere though

That said steve mcmanaman was a success at madrid. With a team load of stars you need workaholic unselfish players with excellent technique. Je could do a job there in the right role/expectations. I cringe everytime i hear liverpool talking him up as the new gerrard. He's never going to be that but he's an excellent player.
 
I remember when him and Mig went to Liverpool theyd been on similar points than us all season and I claimed he should have held out for a bigger move.

Imo they remain a second rate side, who completely blew a title chance which they wont get again for a generation.

Barca on the other hand. Ferk me having been to a few games n spent loads of time in the area I couldnt think of a better move.

Fecking Wiltshire, handful of steady games and hes on the cover of fifa and everywhere. Complete load of london bias, nothing special at all, believes all his own hype too.
